I completely disagree with some of the previous reviews. We had an outstanding overall experience…read moreat this restaurant, and we ate in a lot of BBQ restaurants all over the USA. The ribs were moist, flavorful, and tender. The brisket was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The chicken wings were lightly breaded, crunchy, and delicious. The pulled pork was incredibly well done and tasted delightful. The loaded potato and the coleslaw were very good. The service was excellent; the manager came to check whether everything was okay. This place has a really cool vibe and nice decor. I will come back to try more delicious offerings. I highly recommend it!

Gord and I had lunch at Montana's BBQ & Bar on Wednesday…read more I had Buttermilk Fried Chicken (Tender, seasoned chicken: marinated in buttermilk and hand-tossed in our signature breading. Served over garlic mashed potatoes, freshly baked cornbread and topped with country-style gravy.). The potatoes were a tad salty and most of the batter on the chicken was the texture of solid rubber. This was my go-to when I went to a Montana's ... this time not so much. Gord had a Chicken Burrito Bowl (Fire-grilled, seasoned chicken breast on top of a bed of rice, roasted corn, beans, cheese, red peppers, guacamole, house-made Pico de Gallo and garnished with a creamy cilantro sauce and crunchy corn tortillas.). We realized long after we'd left that Gord's meal was missing the tortilla chips.

She let me try a fork full and I gotta say, it was the most horrible mash potatoes ever. It tasted chemically, like full of preservatves flavor. To me it tasted like how nursing homes have that smell. Very disappointed. Everything else was fine however, much to our chagrin, we were disappointed to learn that they do not serve coleslaw with fish and chips. Every other restaurant serves coleslaw slaw with fish and chips. We always had great meals in Crabby Joe's Stratford in the past but we felt a little put down this time.

Alright folks, here is the good info on The Prune in Stratford:…read more Short version: absolutely phenomenal. Glass wall teaching kitchen turning out the finest food that hasn't yet been awarded a Michelin star (I'm going to make a call after posting this because it is deserving of one). Long version: it's called simply The Prune; the restaurant is on the main downtown drag in lovely Stratford and is not to be missed. There is simply not one thing they aren't achieving culinary excellence with - we tried a smattering of offerings such as the fresh oysters, the house made sourdough, the chicory Caesar salad, the house made tofu dish, and finally the flank steak (a perfect dish IMO - hats off to Randi and Mike and the kitchen team). Every one of those dishes listed hit with style and flavor rivaling the best restaurants the world over - yes, if you're wondering, I do like to exaggerate but I promise I'm not in this case. It's just that good. Atmosphere is very pleasant, the place is super clean and modern, and the glass wall kitchen means you can watch the team make magic if you wish. Oh and my margarita was great too! Go, eat, enjoy. And catch a show at one of the theaters. You're welcome

The turnip was white, not yellow and it was water-logged and tasted weird. The cherry pie was purple like blue berries and there were two cherries in a thick and rubbery jelly.

It was also different from the one online (few additional entrees) but they promote locally resourced ingredients so a rotating menu keeps it interesting. Place is well staffed and servers knew what they were doing. Recommend "The Old Grove" cocktail if you're in for a drink, proofy and full of flavour. Would come back if it wasn't so far from home! One thing to point out is that there is meter parking out front but it only allows you to pay for half an hour at a time so had to pop out of the restaurant a few times to top it up. Interesting decision from the municipality.

We didn't stay at the hotel, but got a nice tour of it and liked how many nooks there are to read or play games in, how different rooms/floors are Shakespeare-themed, etc. It seemed very well thought out - not just another basic hotel chain. Steel Cut Porridge: If you love dessert for breakfast, this is excellent. The banana is caramelized (flambeed?) and the oats are perfectly cooked and sweetened with the birch syrup. I got this twice and it's just the right amount. Avocado Parfait: This was weird, but edible and very filling. I wouldn't get it again - the avocado was a weird choice. Like a sweet guacamole? Pain au Chocolat: Fresh and warm, a little soft (I like them a little more crispy on the outside and soft inside). Decent amount of quality chocolate inside. Crispy Smoked Bacon: Okay this one was maybe not as well priced as you only get three pieces of bacon, but it was tasty and I didn't have any regrets. Thin cut, wide, fatty slices. Maple Breakfast Sausage: No complaints, nothing too special, so it was a little pricey at three sausages. Better of course dipped in maple syrup! Bruce Blend Tea: This was quality black tea, but also just okay for me personally. I appreciate that they tell you how long the tea should be steeped and give you a timer for it. Apricot Tea: I liked this a lot on its own, but I liked it even more with some maple syrup, which made it taste like peach rings. Lychee Tea: This was nice and also I liked it better with a little maple syrup. Fabulous service. On weekends you get hot towels, which I thought was kind of funny. There is a path just outside that leads to the Stratford Festival Theatre, which is nice. I don't know that I could afford to stay at the hotel, but I would definitely come back to the restaurant.
